Mirielle concept update

I'm currently working on a pattern for Mirielle's jacket and blouse. Since she's become more of a fantasy character, I changed up her color scheme a bit.

HDD-02 custom 'Mirielle'

Digital concept for another custom head - based on an original character, shy school girl 'Mirielle'.

More fun with basic heads

Concept for Yoko-type hdd-04 : some sanding required!

New head - SQ Lab Kaoru (as DD Erio?)

Last week I received my order from SQ Labs, a Korea-based maker of resin anime-style doll heads and accessories. Previously these were only available through auctions or second hand, but now the creator's own website allows for easy purchase. Shipping was blazing fast as well!

Here's a look at the blank Kaoru head, eyes blocked out for easy concepting-


My first concept was to do another Yuki-inspired head like Leocadie. It seemed alright, but didn't quite click - plus, I already have a Leocadie! ;)


Moe wasn't working for me either.


Then I remembered a really adorable character from the series Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. She had all my favorite ingredients- big shiny eyes, blushing cheeks, a cute smile, and lots of sparklies!
Thus my plan is to turn Kaoru into the weird-but-cute Erio Touwa.
